University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy (UACEG)

Students are acquainted with the structure, development and the economic significance of the railway transport. They learn the following topics: traction calculations; horizontal and vertical levelling of the route; design and layout of railways; economic and technical investigations and comparison of optional routes; basic technologies and schemes applied in railway construction. After finishing the course students have the expertise to solve tasks, independently or in a team, in the design, ...

The project gives knowledge to students on the following: - design of the layout, longitudinal and transversal profile of the railway; - comparison of railway options; - carrying out earthworks according to Bruckner polygon; - development of detailed plans and longitudinal profiles of a section between two stations.

The project on the high-speed railways acquaints students with reconstruction of railways for high speeds (trunk railway), basic regulations for design of railway stations, station structures and superstructure components.

Upon finishing the project students acquire skills on: - design of one-way railway in plan and longitudinal profile; - drainage design: location, type and main dimensions of drainage structures; - railway construction cost determination; - design of railway station, incl. the necessary loading/unloading equipment for servicing industrial enterprise.

The project enhances the knowledge of students in: - design of railways in plan and longitudinal profile; - application of typical cross sections; - determination of location, type and main dimensions of culverts; - design of railway station.

This subject acquaints students with the main principles, methods and current codes in the design and reconstruction of railway stations. The necessary equipment for the different types of stations (transit-, passing-, sorting-, passenger-, freight-, harbour-, industrial and railway junctions) are considered. Students learn the main principles of operation of railways and safety equipment securing the train traffic safety.

The project in railway stations, station structures and railway operation includes: - development of two options of a junction station; - cross section of the station through the station’s building axis; - station site drainage design.

This is a general course for Road Construction students, related to standard railways and cable railways. Students obtain a basic knowledge on the design and construction of the above facilities, which, complemented to the road construction training will make the future civil engineers in road construction capable to solve complex transport tasks.

This is a general course for students in the Transport Structural Facilities speciality. Students obtain a basic knowledge on the design and construction of standard railways and specific railways, including bridging facilities (overpasses, underpasses) as well as level crossings. During the exercises students develop a conceptual project for a railway in two options and a project for a small railway station.

During project development students get knowledge on: - design of railway in plan and longitudinal profile; - application of standard cross sectional profiles; - determination of the place, type and the basic dimensions of culverts; - design of railway stations.
